I think I have solved the issue I was having just now. I could not pursue it for a while because of other job priorities and we were at the time still having a functioning system with ParaView v3.8.1. This is the reason of the late reply.
I have managed to have a working solution for the following constellation on my SLES10 64bits box: + gcc v4.5.1 + OpenMPI v1.5.3 + Qt v4.6.3 + Python v2.7 + Mesa v7.10.3 + cmake v2.8.4 Mesa was compiled with following options: ./configure --with-x --build=x86_64-suse-linux --prefix=/data/CFD/develop/opt/MESA/Mesa-7.10.3 --disable-egl --enable-pic --disable-gallium --enable-static EXTRA_LIB_PATH="-L/usr/X11R6/lib64" --with-driver=xlib The reason why I am not building the Mesa libs using the --with-driver=osmesa option, is that I want to be able to use X and not rely on the OGL HW implementation, but rather on OSMESA. This way, I can also require to use off-screen rendering for batch jobs through pvbatch or pvserver from the same compiled binaries with Mesa and have a graphical front-end for test purposes. Until now I have tried without success so far to make use of the shared Mesa libraries, ie. I still got a segmentation fault, no matter how I compiled the Mesa libraries on my system. Since the culprit was the libGL.so mismatch between system, Mesa own libGL.so and libOSMesa.so, I switched to static libraries which ultimately worked. Here are my configuration variables: OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR /data/CFD/develop/opt/MESA/Mesa-7.10.3/include OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY /data/CFD/develop/opt/MESA/Mesa-7.10.3/lib/libGL.a OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY /data/CFD/develop/opt/MESA/Mesa-7.10.3/lib/libGLU.a OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR /data/CFD/develop/opt/MESA/Mesa-7.10.3/include OSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR /data/CFD/develop/opt/MESA/Mesa-7.10.3/include OSMESA_LIBRARY /data/CFD/develop/opt/MESA/Mesa-7.10.3/lib/libOSMesa.a VTK_USE_OFFSCREEN OFF VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA ON VTK_USE_X ON I am not sure that this procedure works 100%. I will keep you in touch in case I can manage another successful build on a different computer. HTH. Cheers, Frank. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin H.
